E. ANGUSTISSIMA F.V.M. 



A bushy slirub of 5 feet ; a very imperfectly-known species. 



E. ANXULATA Beutll. 



A tall shrub wth a smooth bark. Others have described it from 7-12 feet, 

 while Diels and Pritzel have seen it from 6 to 32 feet, with an ash-colom:ed smooth 

 bark. It is evidently one of those species which, like the eastern Mallees, may develop 

 into a fairly large size. 



E. BUPRESTIUM F.V.M. 



A tall shrub, sometimes up to 15 or 20 feet, with a Mallee habit; smooth stems. 



E. c\5:siA Benth. 

 A Mallee, about 12 feet high, bark smooth, tough, stripping in long lengths. 



E. CORNLTTA Labill. 

 The Yate. Sometimes forms Marlock thickets. 



E. DECUEVA F.V.M. 



A tall, spindly, Mallee-like shrub of 10-15 feet, but may attain a larger size. 

 The upper parts of the branches glaucous, the branchlets red. 



E. DiPTERA Andrews. 

 A slender tree of 10-20 feet. 



E. DORATOXYLOX F.V.M. ' 



Usually a shrub or small tree, but ]\Iueller quotes an authority that its trunk 

 may appear 3 feet in diameter. I have not been able to obtain confirmation of this. 



E. Ebbaxoexsis Maiden. 

 It attains a height of 30 feet, with a diameter of 9 inches ; bark smooth. 



E. EREMOPHILA Maiden. 

 A shrub or medium-sized tree, with smooth, scaly bark. 



E. erytheocorys F.V.M. 

 Stems white, smooth, a small shrub, or attaining a height of 30 feet. 



E. eudesmoides F.V.M. 



"Shrub 4-12 feet with a smooth bark; called also a White Gum, a smooth- 

 barked, straggling tree of 20 feet. As a rule seen as a bush. Branclilets brown." 



Stated to reach " a height of 50-80 feet in Central Austraha, the trunk sUver- 

 ^ey in colour and very shiny, except the butt, where it is covered with a paper-like 

 bark which peels off in long, yellow-brown scales." (Prof. Baldi;\-in Spencer.) See 

 Part XL^^, p. 167. 



It is a species that deserves fm'ther enquiry, as it is apparently one of the 

 dimorphic species — a small MaUee or a big tree, according to en%iromnent.
